Attorney General Holder issues new DOJ policy guidance on charging and sentencing practices
Thanks to a helpful reader, I just received a copy of what appears to be an important new memorandum from Attorney General Holder to all federal prosecutors concerning Department Policy on Charging and Sentencing. This new three-page Holder memo (which can be downloaded below) expressly states at the end that it replaces older Ashcroft and Comey memos concerning how federal prosecutors are supposed to make basic charging, plea bargaining and sentencing decisions.
Distilled to its essence, it seems that instead of a general policy that federal prosecutors must charge and pursue the most serious offense and must advocate a within-guideline sentence, this new Holder memo now asserts that federal prosecutors ordinarily should charge and pursue the most serious offense and should generally continue to advocate a within-guideline sentence.
